EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Environmental Baseline Survey (EBS) has been prepared for the United States Air Force
(Air Force) Headquarters Air Combat Command (ACC) by Gee-Marine, Inc. (GMI). This survey
satisfies the requirements for an EBS as outlined in Air Force Instruction (AFI) 32-7066,
Environmental Baseline Surveys in Real Estate Transaction, 25 April, 1994, and involves only
those tasks stated in Section 2.0, Survey Methodology, of this report. Disclosure of this
information is prohibited without prior notification of the Air Force.
The Air Force proposes to not renew the current permit for a parcel of land permitted from the
U.S. Army at Fort Fisher Recreation Area, North Carolina, and subsequently return control of the
property to the U.S. Army. The property comprises approximately 61 acres and is located in New
Hanover County, approximately twenty miles south of Wilmington, North Carolina.
The following activities were completed:
l
Data collection.
l
Review of existing report information.
l
A field walkover, to confirm recent remediation activities and assess current
environmental conditions.
l
Interviews with key site personnel.
l
An assessment of the property and compilation of all information into EBS format.
Based on the information and recommendations contained in this EBS, there appear to be no
known environmental liabilities associated with the Air Force proposed use, lease, or transfer of
the property. The findings and recommendations of the investigation are summarized in Table
ES-l.

or properly closed in place. One
UST was removed from Parcel E3 in
1995.
No evidence found of current or
historic presence of oil/water
separators.
A third party contractor currently
performs all pesticide applications.
No herbicides are currently applied
on Recreation Area grounds. No
evidence was rfound to indicate
contamination or misuse of
historically applied pesticides or
herbicides.
No current evidence of medical or
biohazardous materials disposed of at
either location, or elsewhere on the
site. (Prior to 1988, Buildings 116
and 143, located on an adjacent
parcel of property, housed the former
medical clinic.)
No evidence of current or historical
presence of radioactive materials.
All solid waste is collected in
dumpsters and disposed of offsite.
Evidence of past dumping of
vegetation debris and concrete posts
from fencing material was found in
Parcel E 1.
Ground water sampling in parcel El
indicates contamination below NC
standards. Mlanitoring wells on
Parcel E I are scheduled to be closed
by the end of 2000. (All
contamination on adjacent properties
associated with USTs in the housing
area has been remediated to below
NC standards for water quality).

1.0 PURPOSE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE SURVEY
1.1INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Environmental Baseline Survey (EBS) is to investigate the environmental
condition of approximately 6 1 acres of land, hereafter referred to as “the property” that are part of
the Fort Fisher Recreation Area, hereafter refel-red to as the “Recreation Area”. The property is
currently leased under permit by the United States Air Force (Air Force) from the U.S. Army
(Army). The Air Force has proposed to not renew the current permit and subsequently return
control of the recreation area to the Army.
The Recreation Area is located between the Cape Fear
River on the west and the Atlantic Ocean on the cast, approximately 14 miles south of Wilmington
and one mile south of the small town of Kure Beach, North Carolina.
1.2PURPOSEOFTHESURVEY
The primary objective of the EBS is to document the nature, magnitude, and extent of
environmental contamination of the property if it is considered for acquisition, transfer, lease,
sale, or any other disposition. Sufficient information must be developed to assess possible human
health and safety or ecological risks so that ad.equate protection of human health and environment
can be ensured. The EBS must identify potential environmental contamination liabilities
associated with the subject property and document to the fulfillment of environmental “due
diligence” as appropriate.
This EBS is based on information obtained through records search, interviews, an aerial
reconnaissance, and visual site inspection (VSIs) conducted for the property from May 2000 to
September 2000. The information reviewed to prepare this EBS was obtained from standard
historical use and environmental record sources listed in the American Society for Testing and
Materials (ASTM) Standard E 1527-97, as well as, Seymour Johnson Air Force Base (AFB) and
Air Combat Command (ACC) records. Information obtained in this EBS was prepared in
accordance with the provisions of Air Force (AFI) 32-7066, Environmental Baseline Surveys In
Real Estate Transactions, April 25, 1994, and in accordance with ASTM Standard E 1527-93,
Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
Process; and ASTM D 6008-96, Standard Practice for Conducting Environmental Baseline
Surveys.

1.3 S COPE
OF THE
S URVEY
The Recreation Area is located in New Hanover County, North Carolina, as shown in Figure 1. A
Recreation Area site plan is presented in Figure 2.
The entire Recreation Area occupies approximately 240 acres including easements and areas
leased by the North Carolina Army National Guard, and the Air Force. The Recreation Area is
located approximately 33” 58’ 52” North Latitude and 77” 54’ 58” West Longitude. The easting
and not-thing 1,000 meter Universal Transverse Mercator
(UTM) coordinates are 3763.90 and
230.60, and are located in Zone 18.
The approximate 61 acres of property to be ret.umed to the Army is divided among three parcels
of land designated as El, E2, and E3 (Figure
2,). The area south and east of the main operations,
Parcel El, is 58.5 acres of land bordered on the south end of the property by heavy woods.
An
open field used as a golf driving range is locat’ed on the northeast portion of Parcel El. Parcel E2
is approximately 1 .O acre of land occupied by one playground and a water storage facility.
bordered on the east by beach cottages and on the west by a trailer area.
The Air Force plans to
build an additional well and water storage facility on Parcel E2 during the summer of 2000.
Parcel E3 is approximately 2.0 acres of land occupied by a pet kennel, storage shed, the
Recreation Area reception center, and an associated parking lot.

3.0 FINDINGS FOR SUBJECT PROPERTY
3.1 HISTORYANDCURRENTLAND‘CJSE
The Fort Fisher area has had a military presence that dates to 1862, when confederate troops
fortified the southern tip of this barrier island. Fort Fisher was an active Army installation prior
to and during World War II. Fort Fisher Air Force Recreation Area, formerly Fort Fisher Air
Force Station (AFS), was initially activated in August 1955 as the 70 1”’ Aircraft Control and
Warning Squadron. In January 1963, the Air Force Station was integrated in as a back-up for the
Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) system at Fort Lee, Virginia. From July 1, 1968
to July 1, 1974, Fort Fisher was the secondary NORAD Control Center (RCC) for the northern
portion of the 20th Air Division. Detachment 5 of the 1 4th Missile Warning Squadron occupied
the Station until July 198 1, at which time reconfiguration to a Joint Surveillance System (JSS)
began. The JSS was decommissioned in April 1983. Between 1983 and 1988, the 701”’ Aircraft
Control and Warning Squadron continued to provide radar services until decommissioned in
October 1988.
The Recreation Area is an Air Force multi-purpose facility currently operated and maintained by
the Air Force and the Army National Guard. The Air Force uses much of the Recreation Area as
an off-base recreation installation for military personnel. The Recreation Area includes a
museum, lodging, and recreation equipment rentals. The National Guard uses its leased buildings
primarily for indoor training purposes.
All buildings at the Recreation Area are listed with their construction dates in Table 3-l.

Aerial
Photographs
A description of the findings in the historical aerial photographs follows. The aerial
photographs are included in Appendix D.
Photograph 1. November 9,1954. Scale: 12”‘=10,000’.
Black and White. Stereoscopic Pair.
The photograph indicates a largely wooded area located between Cape Fear River to the west and
the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Wooded areas bound the property to the north and south. Four
unpaved roads appear on the Recreation Area in this photograph. One road extends
approximately 900 feet northwest from US Highway 42 1 into the Recreation Area (Road 1). Two
roads extend southwest 1500 feet from the first road, originating 690 feet (Road 2) and 1125 feet
(Road 3) from US Hwy 42 1. Originating approximately 750 feet south of Road 1, a fourth road
extends 900 feet northwest from US Hwy 42 1 (Road 4). The land bordering US Hwy 42 1
extending approximately 400 feet along the paved road has been cleared of vegetation and the
soil is exposed. One rectangular building appears north of the paved road in the clearing. One
square structure appears to the south of the paved road in the clearing.
Small patches of soil are
exposed in the area between Road 2 and 3. Two circular structures appear in this area, as well.
The area to the north of Road 1 remains vegetated with heavy trees.
Immediately west of Road 3
three rectangular clearings appear. Further west of Road 3, five rectangular buildings/trailers
appear. Southwest of these structures, the land has been cleared to the soil. With the exception
of the mentioned clearings, the area west of Road 3 remains heavily vegetated. Approximately
100 feet east of the mean high water (MHW) line in the northwest corner of the property, six
rectangular aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) and one building are evident. The soil between
these tanks is exposed. An unpaved road co.nnecting the tanks with Road 1 appears, as well.
Photograph 2. August 3, 1963. Scale: 1’=833’. Black and White. Stereoscopic Pair.
The network of the four roads that appeared in the 1954 photograph remains evident in the 1963
photograph. Road 1 has been paved and now extends from US Hwy 42 1 to the MHW and then
turns south for an additional 750 feet. Road 1 then turns towards the east for 700 feet and then
north for an additional 500 feet. An area approximately 6.5 acres in size immediately west of US
Hwy 421 has been cleared of trees and revegetated with grasses. Twenty-seven rectanguiar
buildings and four paved roads now appear :in this area (Beach Cottage Area). The two circular
structures located between Road 2 and 3 that were apparent in the 1954 photograph are no longer
evident. The area to the north of Road 1 and immediately west of the Beach Cottages has been
“-
_
--..
cleared of trees and revegetated with grasses. One square building, two large circular structures,
and one small circular structure appear in this area. Further north of Road 1 in this area, another
square building is evident. East of this area, the trees have been cleared and the area has been
revegetated with grasses. Ten rectangular buildings now appear (Trailer Area). The area of land
west of Road 3 and south of Road 1 extendiqg to the MHW has been cleared of trees and
revegetated with grasses. Immediately west of Road 3 and south of Road 1, one large circular
aboveground storage tank (AST) and two small rectangular ASTs now appear. Adjacent to the
ASTs, one square storage shed is evident. Directly west of the ASTs a large rectangular structure
has been constructed. A paved road has been constructed running approximately 450 feet south
of Road 1 providing access to the tanks and building. West of this road two Lshaped building
are evident. A large spherical AST appears to the south of the L-shaped buildings. A paved road
running parallel with Road 1 has been constructed providing access from the circular AST to the
spherical AST. On the western portion of the Recreation Area at the point where Road 1 turns
south then east, the land has been cleared of trees and revegetated with grasses. Two permanent
buildings, three rectangular trailers, a swimming pool and a parking lot are evident in this area.
Southeast of this area remains heavily wooded with the exception of an approximate 1.5-acre plot
that has been cleared to the soil. North of Road 1 and northeast of the MHW, the ASTs that were
evident in the 1954 photograph are no longer apparent. Two rectangular buildings with adjacent
parking lots and a small square storage shed are apparent in this area. The area north of these
buildings has been cleared of trees. The land1 immediately adjacent to the MHW in this area has
been cleared to the soil. One paved road extends north from Road 1 and is located east of the
buildings. The area east of this road remains heavily wooded.
Photograph 3. November 1975. Scale: I”4000’. Black and White. Stereoscopic Pair.
Roads 1,2,3, and 4 remain unchanged since the 1963 photograph. No noticeable changes have
been made to the Beach Cottage Area, Trailer Area, and the field between these areas. North of
the Trailer Area the trees have been cleared. Ten rectangular structures are evident in this area
(Recreational Vehicle Area). Three additional rectangular buildings and one small square
structure now appear in the area of land west of Road 3 and south of Road 1 extending to the
MHW. The soil is exposed south and west of the swimming pool and adjacent to several of the
buildings. Southeast of this area, approximately 0.5 acres of trees have been removed. Two
rectangular structures are evident in this clearing. The land surrounding these structures has been
partially cleared to the soil. North of Road 1 and northeast of the MHW, no new structures
17
appear. Vegetation has returned to the area that had been cleared to the soil in the 1963
photograph. The soil is exposed north of the buildings in this photograph.
Photograph 4. October 3,1984. Scale: 1’=1000’. Black and White. Southern View.
Roads 1,2,3, and 4 remain unchanged since the 1975 photograph. No noticeable changes have
been made to the Beach Cottage Area, Trailer Area, Recreational Vehicle Area and the field
between these areas. The trees have been removed from a portion of the area between Road 2
and Road 3. One additional rectangular building now appears in the area of land west of Road 3
and south of Road 1 extending to the MHW. Southeast of this area, one of the rectangular
structures observed in the 1975 photograph is; no longer evident. The soil is exposed over much
of the eastern portion of this area. Three new rectangular structures now appear north of Road 1
and northeast of the MHW. The vegetation h.as been cleared to the soil surrounding these new
structures.

Hazard Evaluation Report, Fort Fisher Air Force Station, North Carolina. February
1989. This study was conducted to determine the presence of hazardous waste,
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), asbestos, and USTs. Results from the study indicated
that hazardous wastes could be produced if certain materials were mismanaged (paint
thinners, paints, adhesives, sealants and solvents), however, at the time of this study these
materials were being properly stored. Asbestos containing materials (ACMs) were found
in five buildings (#108, #116, #117, #140, and #141). Most of the ACMs were contained
inside wrapping material thus preventing its release to the atmosphere. Polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs) were found in seven transfotmers in the electrical distribution center.
Each transformer was properly labeled. A total of 38 operational USTs were identified at
the Air Force Station. Of the 38 USTs, twelve were eventually taken out of service, five
were cleaned and filled with water or sand and sealed, and seven were completely
removed by 1989.
.
Fort Fisher Air Force Recreation Area, Kure Beach, North Carolina. Environmental
Baseline Survey. August 1996. Foothill Engineering Consultants Inc. was contracted by
the USACE, Omaha District, to provide engineering services to support the preparation
of an EBS for Fort Fisher Air Force Recreation Area, North Carolina. The EBS was
prepared to document the environmental condition of 240 acres of the Recreation Area.
The EBS resulted in several recommended actions including the further investigation of
hazardous substances, above ground storage tanks, underground storage tanks, and
drinking water quality.
l
Confirmation Sampling Report Former UST L-l 9, Fort Fisher Air Force Recreation
Area, Kure Beach, North Carolina. January 2000. Confirmation soil sampling at Fort
Fisher Recreation Area was conducted by a contracted architect-engineer for the Omaha
District of the USACE. Sampling was performed on August 25, 1999 at the former sites
of USTs L- 17 and L- 19. UST L- 17 had been used to store fuel oil #2 for residential
heating, but was removed. The UST was removed from building 219 in 1995. Analytical
results of the confirmation sampling for L-19 indicated the presence of extractable total
petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH).

Confirmation Sampling Report UST L-l 7, Fort Fisher Air Force Recreation Area, Kure
Beach, North Carolina. January 2000.
Confirmation soil sampling at Fort Fisher
Recreation Area was conducted by the architect-engineer, with the Omaha District of the
USACE. Sampling was performed on August 25, 1999 at the sites of former USTs L17
20
and L-19. Former UST L-l 7 was used to store fuel oil #2 for residential heating. The
UST was removed from building 2 1’7 in 1995. Analytical results of the confirmation
sampling for L-l 7 indicated the presence of extractable total petroleum hydrocarbons
(TPH).
3.2 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
3.2.1 Topography
The Recreation Area is located at 33” 58’ 52” North Latitude and 77” 54’ 58” West Longitude.
The surrounding area is gently sloping and the elevation is a few feet above sea level. The
coastline configuration consists of flat terrain with low relief, characteristic of coastal plains and
barrier islands. The Recreation Area is located within the state and federal loo-year flood plain
(FEC 1996).
3.2.2
Soils and Geology
The geology of the area is typical of the GulGAtlantic Coastal Plains. The ages of most of the
coastal plain formations are Cretaceous or Tertiary. Marine Cretaceous sands and marl beds
appear at the tide water level near Wilmington and are underlain by the Potomac Formation. The
limestone Potomac Formation is the most important water-bearing formation of the coastal plain
region. Underlying the Potomac Formation is a crystalline schist of Triassic age, and perhaps
older (FEC 1996).
3.2.3
Surface and Gromdwater
Resources
The uppermost groundwater aquifer beneath the Recreation Area occurs within 15 feet of ground
surface. The direction of groundwater flow varies with seasonal conditions and water levels of
the Cape Fear River that fluctuate in response to tidal changes (FEC 1996).
3.3 F INDINGS
3.3.1 Hazardous Substances
3.3.1.1 Hazardous Materials and Petroleum Products
Currently, only landscaping equipment such as lawnmowers require the use of hazardous
substances and petroleum products. Quantities used are less than five gallons. According to Mr.
Stanley, the maintenance supervisor, vehicle maintenance is prohibited on the property. Ongoing facility maintenance materials, categorized as either cleaners, paint supplies, maintenance
supplies, or petroleum products are used at Fort Fisher. (Petroleum products are properly
contained and not considered hazardous substances.) No existing historic documentation
suggests release or mishandling of these materials (Hayes 2000). It was determined that no
hazardous substances or petroleum products or their derivatives were stored for one year or more,
known to have been released, or disposed of on the site.
All potentially hazardous materials generated by the Air Force are taken to Civil Engineering
(CE) Paint Shop at Seymour Johnson AFB, located in Goldsboro, NC. If certain materials can be
used by other military facilities, they are then transferred to the Defense Reutilization Marketing
Organization (DRMO) at Seymour Johnson AFB.
3.3.1.2 Petroleum Product Spills and Releases
According to the database search conducted by EDR, one off-site leaking Underground Storage
Tank (LUST) was located near the subject property. A fuel leak of unknown quantity occurred
on March 20, 1995 from this unidentified tank (Incident Number 14490).
3.3.2
Environmental Restoration Program Contamination
Based on review of historical documents and interviews with site personnel, there are currently
no sites that are eligible for Air Force Environmental Restoration Account (ERA) funds at the
Recreation Area. Currently, there are no Environmental Restoration Program (ERP) sites on
Fort Fisher.
3.3.3
Pesticides and Herbicides
No pesticides or herbicides are currently being stored at the Recreation Center. Third-party
certified and licensed contractors perform all pesticide application; and herbicides are not used on
site. According to Mr. Hayes all materials are applied in accordance with regulations and no
incidents have been reported or noted. No evidence was found to indicate contamination of
historically applied pesticides or herbicides (Hayes 2000).

3.3.4 Storage Tanks
3.3.4-l Aboveground Storage Tanks
Two aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) on Parcel E2 associated with the Recreation Area’s water
distribution system are presently used for water supply and emergency fire protection. The tanks
are located between the Beach Cottages and the mobile homes next to Building #200 (see Figure
I-
2 and Figure 4). The water supply tanks holId 25,000 and 40,000 gallons respectively.

3.3.4.2 Underground Storage Tanks
All known USTs on the Recreation Area have been removed or closed in place.
Only one UST
was located on Parcel E3 near building 118 (Tank A). Tank A was installed in 1977 to hold No.
2 Heating Fuel Oil. The tank was later remolved in 1995. UST information is summarized in
Table 3-3. The locations of removed USTs are represented in Figure 4.

3.3.4.3 Pipeline, H$?drant Fueling and Transfer Systems
Based on review of historical documents and. the field walkover, no evidence was found to
suggest the current or historical presence of any fuel pipelines, hydrant fueling, or transfer
systems at the Recreation Area.
3.3.5 Solid Waste
Historically and presently, solid waste is hauled off-site for disposal. There are no active landfills
at the Recreation Area. As indicated by the review of the aerial photographs and the site
walkover, portions of parcel El have been u.sed for disposal. The only known solid waste items
that have been disposed at the Recreation Area are located in the northern portion of parcel El
and include yard waste, concrete, and fence posts. Non-hazardous solid waste that is currently
generated by the Recreation Area is disposed of through third-party contractors in accordance
with all state and federal regulations.
3.3.6
Groundwater/ Drinking Water Quality
As shown in Figure 2, one active water supply well is located on Parcel E2 immediately
northwest of the Beach Cottages (Well #3). Groundwater from this well and Well #l (near
Building 103) are combined to decrease the salinity of the water to meet the supply and demand
for the Recreation Area.
Groundwater at the Recreation Area is within 15 feet of the surface in most places, and it is likely
that a salt-water lense overlies and intrudes the groundwater table beneath much of the site.
During the closure of the USTs in 1995, no free product was reported at any of the tank locations.
However, analysis of confirmatory soil and water samples indicated possible contamination of
soil and/or groundwater at 17 of the tank locations. None of these 17 tanks were located on
Parcels El, E2, or E3. A Comprehensive Site Assessment (CSA) that included the 17 tank
locations was completed in July of 1997. During the CSA, 3 1 monitoring wells were installed at
the Recreation Area to evaluate groundwater contamination. Monitoring wells Zl, C- 1, Z-2, Z3, and BL-1 are located on Parcels El and E2. The location of these monitoring wells is shown in
Figures 3 and 4. Water quality from these monitoring wells indicates all contamination is below

water quality standards. The Air Force has scheduled the monitoring wells in Parcel E 1 to be
closed in the future (Scott 2000).
3.3.7 Asbestos
Radian Corporation conducted an asbestos survey and sampling program as part of the field
investigations done for a Hazard Evaluation Report (HER) in 1989. No buildings located on the
Parcels of El, E2, or E3 were identified as having asbestos containing materials (ACM).
3.3.8
Medical or Biohazardous Waste
There was no evidence found to suggest the historical or current presence of medical or
biohazardous wastes.
a-
3.3.9 Ordnance
Based on the review of historical documents and considering the historical mission of the AFS,
no evidence was found to suggest current or historical use of ordnance at the Recreation Area.
3.3.10 Radioactive Waste
Since the activation of the 701”’ Radar Squadron, the mission of the AFS was in part, that of an
air defense radar site. As such, there has been no historic or current requirement for the use or
storage of any type of radioactive materials at the Recreation Area.
3.3.11 Polychlorinated Biphenyls
Seven transformers were identified in 1985 as containing greater than 50 ppm PCBs. These PCBcontaining transformers are properly labeled and are currently being used. According to Seymour
Johnson AFB Environmental Staff, all PCB-containing transformers are maintained on a regular
basis. A summary of the 1985 transformer inventory is presented in Table 3-l 1. The only
transformers that are part of the proposed property transfer are those associated with Building
118, which is located on Parcel E3.

Radon
According to EPA’s Map of Radon Zones for NC, the Recreation Area is located in an area rated
as Zone 3. Zone 3 areas are considered to have a low radon potential. The average screening
levels are less than 2 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). A review of EPA’s Region 4 indoor radon
levels further supports this rating, averaging 0.0 to 1.9 pCi/L. EPA’s action level for radon is 4
pCi/L.

3.3.13 Lead Based Paint
A lead based paint survey for the Recreation Area is not planned as of the date of this report. The
potential for the presence of lead based paint is greater in buildings constructed prior to 1978,
which includes Building 118. The visual inspection of the property indicated that all paint
surfaces were in good condition.
3.4 REGULATORYREVIEW
Regulatory database searches at the federal and state levels were supplied by EDR, Inc.
(Appendix B). The federal and state environmental databases were conducted using areas defined
by their zip codes and street addresses, when available, in order to identify both the project site
and neighboring properties. The radius of inquiry for different databases is consistent with the
distances recommended in the ASTM guidelines for conducting Phase I Environmental Site
Assessments (ASTM D 6008 - 96). Other databases were searched for the site and adjacent
properties.
GM1 personnel conducted municipal and county inquiries and additional research at
the state level.
3.4.1
Federal and State Environmental Databases
Federal and state records researched did not identify any facilities on the site or events that
occurred on the site or within the specified distances that would be considered of environmental
concern.
3.4.2
Regulatory Compliance Issues
Based on the review of federal and state environmental databases, and municipal and county
inquiries, neither the site nor its immediate neighbors have a current compliance or other
environmental regulatory concern.
4.0 FINDINGS FOR ADJACENT PROPERTIES
The Fort Fisher Recreation Area is located in the Town of Kure Beach, North Carolina.
The
Recreation Area is bordered by the Cape Fear River to the west and by U.S Route 42 1 and
residential areas to the east. The Recreation Area extends to within 400 ft of the Atlantic Ocean.
Adjacent properties to the north, south, and west across the Cape Fear River are owned and
occupied by Sunny Point US Military Ocean Terminal. To the east, across Fort Fisher Boulevard,
the land is residential.
Fort Fisher Recreation Area and adjacent properties were searched by zip code and radius from
the site (from a latitude/longitude coordinate at a central point on the site). The search was
conducted to identify any facilities associated with Fort Fisher Recreation Area or adjacent
properties potentially impacting the Recreation Area and federal or state environmental lists
regulated by CERCLA, RCRA, or the Solid Waste Disposal Act. The lists were searched through
an environmental database company (EDR, Inc.) The complete findings are presented in
Appendix A. All locations cited within a one-mile radius of the Recreation Area are summarized
in Table 4.1. Record findings indicate that none of the sites are likely to have an environmental
impact on the Recreation Area.

5.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
Per AFI 32-7066 (“Environmental Baseline Surveys in Real Estate Transactions”), the Air Force
has defined the following categories regarding the presence of CERCLA hazardous substances
[42 U.S.C. section 9601 (14)] or petroleum products or their derivatives:
l
Category 1: No storage occurred. Areas where no storage, release, or disposal of
hazardous substances or petroleum products has occurred.
l
Category 2: Only storage occurred. Areas where only storage of hazardous substances or
petroleum products has occurred.
l
Category 3: Contamination below acl.ion levels. Areas where storage, release, disposal
and/or migration of hazardous substances or petroleum products has occurred, but at
concentrations that do not require a removal or remedial action.
l
Category 4: Remedial action required and taken. Areas where storage, release, disposal,
and or migration of hazardous substances or petroleum products has occurred, and all
remedial actions necessary to protect human health and the environment have been taken.
l
Category 5: Remedial or other action underway. Areas where storage, release, disposal,
and/or migration of hazardous substances or petroleum products has occurred, removal
and/or remedial actions are underway, but all required actions have not yet been taken.
l
Category 6: Required response action not implemented. Areas where storage, release,
disposal, and/or migration of hazardous substances or petroleum products has occurred,
but required response actions have not yet been implemented.
l
Category 7: Further evaluation required. Areas that are unevaluated or require additional
evaluation.
Based on observation and available information, the various components of the site have been
categorized according to the definitions provided in AFI 32-7066. A summary of observed and
available information for the Fort Fisher Recreation Area is presented in a Facility Matrix
Summary (Table 5.1). Conclusions are based on a synthesis of all information presented in the

National Priorities List (Superfund). The NPL is a subset of CERCLIS and identifies over 1,200 sites for priority
cleanup under the Superfund Program. NPL sites may encompass relatively large areas. As such, EDR provides polygon
coverage for over 1,000 NPL. site boundaries produced by EPA’s Environmental Photographic Interpretation Center
(EPIC).

The National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP) establishes the criteria that the

CERCLIS contains data on potentially hazardous waste shes that have been reported to the USEPA by states, municipalities,
private companies and private persons, pursuant to Section 103 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,

CERCLISNFRAP: No Further Remedial Action Planned
Source: EPA
Telephone: 703-413-0223
As of February 1995, CERCLIS sites designated “No Further Remedial Action Planned” (NFRAP) have been removed
from CERCLIS. NFRAP sites may be sites where, following an initial investigation, no contamination was found,
contamination was removed quickly without the need for the site to be placed on the NPL, or the contamination
was not serious enough to require Federal Superfund action or NPL consideration. EPA has removed approximately
25.000 NFRAP sites to lift the unintended barriers to the redevelopment of these properties and has archived them
as historical records so EPA does not needlessly repeat the investigations in the future. This policy change is
part of the EPA’s Brownfields Redevelopment Program to help cities, states, private investors and affected citizens
to promote economic redevelopment of unproductive urban sites.

HISTORICAL AND OTHER DATABAS+(SL
Depending on the geographic area covered by this report, the data provided in these specialty databases may or may not be
complete. For example, the existence of wetlands information data in a specific report does not mean that all wetlands in the
area coverad by the report are inc:luded. Moreover, the absence of any reported wetlands information does not necessarily
mean that wetlands do not exist in the area covered by the report.
Oil/Gas PipelineslElectrical Transmission Lines:
This clata was obtained by EDR from the USGS in 1994. It is referred to by
USGS as GeoData Digital Line Graphs from l.lOO,OOC-Scale
Maps. It was extracted from the transportation category including
some oil, but primarily gas pipelines and electrical transmission lines.
Sensitive Receptors: There are individuals deemed sensilive receptors due to their fragile immune systems and special sensitivity
lo environmental discharges. These sensitive receptors typically include the elderly, the sick, and children. While the locat
ion of all
sensitive receptors cannot be determined, EDR indicates those buildings and facilities - schools, daycares. hospitals, medical
centers,
and nursing homes - where individuals who are sensitive receptors are likely to be located.

EDR’s GeoCheck Physical Setting Source Addendum has been developed to assist the environmental professional
with the collection of physical setting source information in accordance with ASTM 1527-97, Section 7.2.3.
Section 7.2.3 requires that a current USGS 7.5 Minute Topographic Map (or equivalent, such as the USGS Digital
Elevation Model) be reviewed. It also requires that one or more additional physical setting sources be sought
when (1) conditions have been identified in which hazardous substances or petroleum products are likely
to migrate to or from the property, and (2) more information than is provided in the current USGS 7.5 Minute
Topographic Map (or equivalent) is generally obtained, pursuant to local good commercial or customary practice,
to assess the impact of migration of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property. Such
additional physical setting sources generally include information about the topographic, hydrologic, hydrogeologic,
and geologic characteristics of a :site, and wells in the area.
Assessment of the impact of contaminant migration generally has two principle investigative components:
1. Groundwater flow direction, and
2. Groundwater flow velocity.
Groundwater flow direction may be impacted by surface i.opography, hydrology, hydrogeology, characteristics
of the soil, an’d nearby wells. Groundwater flow velocity is generally impacted by the nature of the geologic strata.
EDR’s GeoCheck Physical Setting Source Addendum is provided to assist the environmental professional in
forming an opinion about the impact of potential contaminant migration.

DIRECTION
- PHYSICAL SETTING SOURCE SUMMARY
INFORMATION
Groundwater IIow direction for a particular site is best determined by a qualified environmental professional
using site-speck well data. If suc:h data is not reasonably ascertainable, it may be necessary to rely on other
sources of information, such as surface topographic information, hydrologic information, hydrogeologic data
collected on nearby properties, and regional groundwater flow information (from deep aquifers).
TOPOGRAPHIC
INFORMATION
Surface topography may be indicative of the direction of surficial groundwater flow. This information can be used to
assist the environmental professional in forming an opinion about the impact of nearby contaminated properties or,
should contamination exist on the target property, what downgradient sites might be impacted.

INFORMATION
Groundwater flow velocity information for a particular site is best determined by a qualified environmental professional
using site specific geologic and soil strata data. If such data are not reasonably ascertainable, it may be necessary
to rely on other sources of information, including geologic age identification, rock stratigraphic unit and soil
characteristics data collected on nearby properties and regional soil information. In general, contaminant plumes
move more quickly through sandy-gravelly types of soils than silty-clayey types of soils.

ADDITIONAL ENVlRONMENTAL
RECORD SOURCES
According to ASTM E 1527-97, Section 7.2.2, “one or more additional state or local sources of environmental
records may be checked, in the discretion of the environrnental professional, to enhance and supplement federal
and state sources... Factors to consider in determining which local or additional state records, if
any, should be checked include (1) whether they are reasonably ascertainable, (2) whether they are sufficiently
useful, accurate, and complete in light of the objective of the records review (see 7.1 .l), and (3) whether they
are obtained, pursuant to local, good commercial or customary practice.” One of the record sources listed in Section
7.2.2 is water well information. Water well information can be used to assist the environmental professional in
assessing sources that may impact groundwater flow direction, and in forming an opinion about the impact of
contaminant migration on nearby drinking water wells.
